SkinVive vs other Dermal Fillers
How is SkinVive different from other Dermal Fillers?
Skinvive, also known as SKINVIVE by JUVÉDERM®, is a hyaluronic acid (HA) microdroplet injectable that improves skin smoothness and hydration. It does this by delivering microdroplets of hyaluronic acid (HA) beneath the skin’s surface. This restores moisture to the skin, leading to a more hydrated and supple appearance. By increasing hydration, Skinvive aims to improve skin texture, smoothness, and radiance.
This procedure is performed with our technician injecting it into the dermis, the second layer of the skin, using a microdroplet technique; thereby hydrating and improving overall skin quality, whereas most fillers are injected into the deeper layers, with the goal of building support, adding volume, and ultimately changing the shape of the face.
By injecting microdroplets of hyaluronic acid directly into the of skin, moisture is enhanced and collagen production is stimulated. SkinVive focuses on improving skin quality, smoothness, and hydration, rather than altering facial structure or muscle activity. Skinvive can lead to a natural glow, a hydrated and dewy skin, smoother skin texture, and fewer fine lines.
Who is SkinVive suitable for?
Adults aged 21 and older. Skinvive is primarily used to improve the smoothness of the cheeks. Unlike traditional fillers that add volume, Skinvive focuses on improving skin quality and hydration, rather than changing facial contours. Results can last for up to six months.
The results of SKINVIVE by JUVÉDERM® are clinically proven to last up to 6 months with optimal treatment. An optional touch up may be needed to achieve the desired aesthetic effect, so you should plan to see our licensed technician every 6 months to see if you should get treated.
